[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the reaction of your cleaner a bit over the top. Does she not need this job. She would quit for the sole reason of not being able to use paper towels? I don't get it.

It's your house and you made one special request. Don't think it's such a big deal, either. I would find someone else. [/quote]

I kind of agree with this. It's really not a big deal to quit over.[/quote]

Her attitude and reaction to your request would be a deal-killer for me.  Now you're not going to feel like you can ask her for anything without her threatening to quit.  She obviously doesn't care too much about the job.  I'd find someone else who does-- I'll bet this won't the the last issue you have with this lady.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you!

As I've sat on it all afternoon, this is what it comes down to. I would prefer she uses the rags (less wasteful, less costly) but it's not a dealbreaker. That's not the issue. The issue is whether she's BSC and whether it's worth it to walk on eggshells so she doesn't threaten to quit again... or if I should just find someone where there would be a little less drama who is willing to accommodate my requests in my house - which is pretty reasonable for me to expect - especially when they are not major things.

So thank you to those of you who got that!! At this point, I'm willing to give her another chance. After I told her I didn't realize it was such a big deal and if it was the difference in her cleaning my house or quitting, paper towels were fine, she was very apologetic and thankful and talked about how she needs the job, is a single mother, etc. She is reliable and does a good job so I'm not going to look for reasons to fire her but if another issue like this comes up, you can bet I will be finding someone else.[/quote]
